Does It Get Anymore Unclutch Than That?

A Cardinal and a Tiger that is the only thing.

QFT! The Orioles are 3rd in MLB in OPS with RISP, at .795.

If a gun was pointed at this OPs head and the armed man said this was a game of failure Trea would say "No".

We should sign this heavy-hitter for 500k Candy Bars and make him our starting first baseman and MOO bat in 2014.

Dang, beat me to it!

OP hits better than the O's...at least when he's beating a dead horse.

Edit: After this thread has been merged, this no longer makes sense. Clearly, I wasn't referring to the OP of this thread.

But you're missing Trea's point. They WERE a good RISP team. They are no longer a good RISP team. See how brilliant he is now?

Trea hitting the OH message board over the head with dumb posts.

Oh wait.

So??? We find a way to lose 3 straight games when we should have won all 3. 4-21 with RISP in the series (1 of those being an infield single that scored nobody). 3 blown saves. Does it get anymore unclutch than that?

[CA-ORIOLE]

Out of curiosity, what is the league average for RISP in losses? I always hate looking like numbers like this in a vacuum. Like primetime said, of course we hit poorly with RISP in games we lose--if we always hit .388, we'd almost never lose. But I assume this is true for other teams as well. I wonder how profound the split is league-wide.

Wait. We hit and pitch poorly in losses !!
